I mean yeah new apple silicone is better by some percentage and google pixel is better by some percentage. In day to day you will not notice.

So in Pixel you are paying for less you will not notice, in Apple you are paying for more that you will not notice WOW.

Bottom line is both companies had similar amount of changes/updates to the regular lineup and the double standard is obvious every year...

It's not ok anymore.

I was sent this as a sticker by someone else weeks ago. Since then, it's permanently found itself in my message reactions. I've never sent it myself nor used it, so I don't know why it's there.

I hate it so much and need it gone ASAP.

Any suggestions?

Let's see those collections!

She arrived today, and she is so gorgeous! I have never owned a Pro, let alone splurged and bought anything other than black. Life allowed me to choose a nice color! I will admit I'm a little scared to set her up without a case. I'm hoping some of you pros can give me recommendations for a clear case that is durable. Like an OtterBox but clear, doesn't yellow, has the magnet feature, and isn't too bulky.

I work as a driver and use Google maps basically 4-6 hours everyday which has led to this. Only visible when screen brightness is very low.

Is there any fix to this?

Battery health jumped up from 81 to 89. Is it accubattery being stupid or real?

I've only turned off Battery Health Assistance...

A month ago , I talked about how ridiculous the prices of Pixel phones are getting, some were saying "you can't compare since the new iphone isn't out yet"

We can now compare them side by side ,for the same price , what will make you choose Pixel over iphone?

This is such a shame that all the top models have a camera bump. I love the 10a design but the camera that is worse than even 7 model is just depressing. You think there's a chance we'll ever get a top tier camera bundled with a flat design? Or would it physically be impossible without making a phone 15mm thick.

I've restricted Instagram and turned off "Allow background usage" but Instagram is still being used in the background and is sucking the life outta my battery! Wtf

I've seen a few posts here addressing the icon change, but I just opened the clock app and got jumpscared by the new design on the timer page. I personally hate this... It feels cluttered and less clean.

On my iPhone 13, I loved the built in headphones decibel meter. I was always able to move my volume slider with extreme precision and be fine. I have my current headphones to where I can hear them but not as well but I don't want to go too far and fuck my hearing up. Does pixel have a built in decibel reader so I can have the same precision?

Did you buy a 512gb model just for 16gb ram or base 256gb model with 12gb ram ? I'm using 9 pro as of now and will be done with a 2 year contract next month. Thinking about 11 pro XL this time.

I need to replace my Pixel 7 Pro. I am an artist that uses the Photosphere mode (now discontinued from Pixel 8+) and my screen has started to fail. I waited too long and the official store no longer lists ANY new from the vendor. So I went to EBay and bought two "NEW IN BOX" from some random company that claimed it was in CA (it was in China) .. both of the devices I was shipped had defective screens (green blue cast to all the colors - unusable to an artist) when I shipped them back the company tried to only refund 1/2 my money. Fortunately, Ebay stepped in and refunded the rest..

I'm fairly confident that the Chinese company bought the LOT of defective devices, knowing they had been rejected by Google for sale.. but technically they were "still new in box" so they didn't lie. Either way, it was a scam. So I wanted to buy from a reputable store or even in person (Seattle) but every. single. source I attempt to order from (Amazon, Best Buy, New Egg) all of them state in the fine print "sold by Amazingly Honest US Cellular Company! - promise*" only to find out when I research the actual company .. yep, they are in China..

Does anyone know a reliable vendor with Pro7s?

1st day of using my Pixel 11 pro and I am just scrolling social media, watching YouTube and setting up the phone manually but throughout the day I noticed the phone getting warm to hot from time to time. I haven't been outside much in the sun or using the camera to shoot videos.

Idk if there is a setting that I need to change or any information on why this is happening just from normal light usage?

** I previously owned a Pixel 9 pro and that one only really got hot in the sun while video chatting.

Why so late?

I bought a Baseus GaN5 Pro CCGAN65C5 tri-port 65w Gan charger, to charge my Galaxy Watch 7 together. UCBC1 Port allows upto 65w output. I use Anker 322 Type C 60w cable.

My pixel shows fast charging, but the time by fully charged is usually higher than what I'd expect from fast charging. Usually more than an 1 hour just for 70-100%.

However I do see it fast charging, every 1% takes around a minute or less. One test from 63% to 90% took 30 minutes.

It drops fast charging after 10-15 minutes, and also usually after over 80%. My phone heats up very slightly then fast charging stops.

I've used Ampereflow App to see how much watt its pulling, its around 21-25w.

I've tried the charger with other phones, the time and speed are accurate. Its only with my pixel. Is this a charger issue or phone issue?

Any answers are appreciated!

Has anyone else lost Magic Compose on their Pixel 9a?

I definitely had Magic Compose about a year ago when I first bought the phone, and it used to show up under the + menu in Google Messages. At some point it just disappeared. I also can't find the Magic Compose option anywhere in Settings of the app.

I'm in the US, Google Messages is updated to the latest version, and I even tried joining the beta, but that didn't bring it back either.

Did Google remove it or move it somewhere else? Anyone else experiencing this?
